Background
Ideally, a boiler would use just enough combustion air to burn all of the fuel, with no excess air. Excess air carries heat
and reduces boiler efficiency. However, all burners require some excess air to ensure complete combustion. We assume
can operate your boiler with 4.0% excess oxygen (O2). Depending on the boiler and control strategy it could be possible
excess oxygen below 4.0% for additional savings, although care must be taken to ensure combustibles (unburned fuel) a
monoxide (CO) concentrations do not rise to unacceptable levels.
Efficiency can also be improved by cleaning scale from the waterside heat transfer surfaces. Scale deposits occur when
magnesium, and silica, form a layer of material on the boiler heat exchanger surfaces. By removing the scale, heat trans
improve, lowering stack temperatures.
We measured combustion gas temperatures and composition at several firing rates in order to establish an accurate mode
operation. With the combustion gas analysis, we used the ASME indirect method to calculate combustion efficiency for
boiler(s) at each firing rate. We then used the operating hours that plant personnel provided to calculate annual fuel use
boiler(s). We verified the information that we measured, obtained from plant personnel, or assumed through boiler reco
to the extent possible. Finally, we compared the calculated boiler fuel use with your fuel bills to verify the model is cons
your operation.

Proposal
We recommend you have a boiler specialist tune your boiler to 4.0% exhaust O2 and clean your boiler water side heat ex
surfaces to increase combustion efficiency . We suggest this be done immediately and then once every year after. We es
boiler tune will cost $500 per boiler. Annual savings after deducting the annual cost to tune your boiler will be $2,539, p
the initial implementation cost of the first tuning in 0.4 years.
